Jesus I Am Resting
My eyes slowly opened this morning and through the squint between my eyelashes, I could tell that sunlight was streaming in through the window. After delaying my awakening for another 30 minutes, I crawled out of bed. Standing in the middle of my room, hair sticking out of my head in every which way, and feeling quite groggy, I suddenly felt such a comforting peace. Yesterday afternoon I had been talking with one of my dear friends about life, what kind of women we desire to become, and how content we are right now in this season of life. The words we had exchanged had stayed with me into the late hours of last night, and upon waking up, I was aware of how truly content and satisfied I am. This song came to mind, and expresses the joy He's given me.
Jesus, I am resting, resting, In the joy of what Thou art; I am finding out the greatness, Of Thy loving heart. Thou hast bid me gaze upon Thee, And Thy beauty fills my soul, For by Thy transforming power, Thou hast made me whole.
Jesus, I am resting, resting, In the joy of what Thou art; I am finding out the greatness, Of Thy loving heart.
O, how great Thy loving kindness, Vaster, broader than the sea! O, how marvelous Thy goodness, Lavished all on me! Yes, I rest in Thee, Beloved, Know what wealth of grace is Thine, Know Thy certainty of promise, And have made it mine.
Simply trusting Thee, Lord Jesus, I behold Thee as Thou art, And Thy love, so pure, so changeless, Satisfies my heart; Satisfies its deepest longings, Meets, supplies its every need, Compasseth me round with blessings:Thine is love indeed!
Jesus, I am resting, resting, In the joy of what Thou art; I am finding out the greatness, Of Thy loving heart.
Ever lift Thy face upon me, As I work and wait for Thee; Resting ’neath Thy smile, Lord Jesus, Earth’s dark shadows flee. Brightness of my Father’s glory, Sunshine of my Father’s face, Keep me ever trusting, resting, Fill me with Thy grace.
